I think if trump looses than there will be a bunch of his cult that tries their hardest to sow discord and chaos in order to make Biden, "the left", "the liberals", and the Dems look bad and make it appear that Trump wasn't the problem.

I hope I wrong

C'mon. You seriously think there are gonna be riots from Republicans? Seriously? The closest thing to a right protest was some people standing on the courthouse steps in Minnesota looking like morons holding their guns and stuff.

If Biden wins, there won't be protests. If Trump wins, cities will burn like they are now.

I can't believe these guys are our only options.

I love how people criticize athletes for living vapid lives and doing nothing meaningful, then when athletes actually do something meaningful, they criticize them.

Use your position of influence to make real change. If they stop playing, its like they quit on their messages of jersey names, court logos, comments during interviews, etc.

Its like Obama talking about bringing everybody together now when as President, he never seemed to do anything to unify the country. And Trump talks about it, yet he does so much to divide.

STFU Jesus Christ. Why are you trying so hard to reframe the narrative?

But they're not innocent. None of us are innocent. We are all complicit in this. If majority of people weren't racist, then we wouldn't have the society we have right now. Then we would've had change long ago. We wouldn't have people complaining about how basketball might get canceled.

Again, it's nice for you to pretend that you're not racist, like the bar for being racist is thinking black people are subhuman and ought to be exterminated. Meanwhile, you "just want to watch a game [you] enjoy." It'd be a shame if a fight for equality got in your way, right?

And what are you doing on a daily basis to help the cause...to help offset your inborn racism?

What are you whining about now? I'll break it down for the elementary school kids in the forum:

100% of NBA players have a voice that resonates while they are playing

99% of NBA players don't have a voice that resonates when they aren't playing. Nobody cares what they are saying on social media, in protests, etc when they aren't playing.

The bubble was making a difference. Abandoning the bubble to send a message actually loses the traction made.

From a reporter in the Bubble. "Painful to say, but league needs to shut down. Playing would distract from a message it deems important. Playing would create a division within the league. Playing would be a massive distraction. "

Give me an example of “real”. A ripple effect of tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in disruption and getting tens to hundreds of millions of people talking seems quite real to me. More real than anything any of us could do.

I think talking down to the players about this is incredibly ignorant.

That’s simply not true and again, quite ignorant.
 
Problems of this magnitude don’t change overnight and none of the players ever even hinted that would be the case. That’s a scarecrow argument.

This feels like a demonstrative show of " I will end this **** if you don't figure it out tomorrow". Board of Governors meeting gonna be really interesting. that is where they can call the players bluff... could terminate the CBA and there would be monstrous financial considerations. Wonder if they balk... wonder if the owners get offended that their lip service isn't seen as real support. I wonder if they will give Tillman Fertita the zoom link or mute him the whole time.

I think this **** over... I think we may lose the season next year too...
 
We have an unprecedented moment in modern WORLD HISTORY, where the players have stopped a multi-multi-billion dollar institution in solidarity with human rights, and we have people on Jazzfanz telling them it’s either a hollow gesture or counterproductive. That THEY know better.

to quote Doc Rivers, “I think it’s AMAZING.”
